It occurred to me that the so-called “original sin” is quite the opposite. It is curiosity; it is a thirst for knowledge not just of things, but of what is the best way to handle life, which some idiots turned into right vs wrong and good vs. evil. Then it occurred to me that the tree of knowledge is Earth and the tree of life is Heaven.

Moreover, bad things happen to good people because that's what our souls and god scripted in our improvisational outlines/lesson plans.

I discuss all of this in detail here. https://medium.com/illumination-curated/life-is-school-for-the-soul-9b081dbe8453
